the thing about evangelizing firefox is that there's a lot of talk about making sure the web isn't just chrome and keeping the web open, which is good and important, but also we lose sight of telling people about functionality that chrome doesn't have like:

did you know that firefox lets you hold shift while right-clicking to prevent websites from hijacking the context menu

eggbug enthusiast @aidan1/29/2024, 10:55 PM

my legitimate favorite feature in firefox is the right click screenshot feature. cannot believe i ever lived without this functionality

I really wish DuckDuckGo browser was based on FF. (Edit: ok apparently there’s a DDG plugin for Firefox that does most of what I’m after, perfect)

tiger トラ @comforttiger1/30/2024, 12:53 AM

chrome doesnt have that??? i rely on this feature so much on firefox its so useful i just assumed everything would have it

iliana @iliana1/30/2024, 12:53 AM

evidently not! a friend was trying to copy a link from within a larger message out of discord and there's just no way to do it within discord's custom right-click menu

Press CTRL-I to open a page information window. In the Media tab of this window, you'll find a list of all images on the page

Nire Bryce @NireBryce1/30/2024, 6:24 PM

you can also use the Right Click Borescope addon to grab images you can't right click directly

It is SO GOOD, I use it all the time with web dev stuff.

eggbug enthusiast @aidan1/29/2024, 11:04 PM

like "oh i can just restrict this to whatever I'm targeting and get a pixel perfect screenshot with no cropping necessary?" is so smart

Pokey @tercel-enby1/29/2024, 11:46 PM

...fuck you can do it from a right click I was using the janky shortcut this whole time

mike cook @mtrc1/29/2024, 11:51 PM

oh my god

ohhhh wow I didn't know either of these. that rules. :eggbug-smile-hearts:

somewhat nifty @somewhatnifty1/30/2024, 12:59 AM

OH MY GOD i was literally taking five separate screenshots for a long-scrolling page like an hour ago. this will save my life

@millions1/30/2024, 2:07 AM

I assumed it was on chrome too

eggbug enthusiast @aidan1/30/2024, 3:39 AM

i believe there IS a chrome functionality for screenshots in devtools and of course there's extensions for it, but having a tool as robust as firefox's right there in the context menu is just unbeatably convenient
